Totally agree! Long Vacation was my first jdrama and still one of my faves. Plus it gets bonus points for starring Kimutaku (he was so young in that).

I found the plot of Strong Woman to over the top so I would be hesitant to suggest that one. Healer though I loooved, and I have suggested that to several people.

I'd love to be eating some mochi right now. Or drinking a matcha tea.

When Google translate writes a drama description. LOL

Is the manga complete?

Both the leads definitely have room for change and growth. I'm definitely curious whether they'll use this 2nd chance to do that, or whether the drama will go with the more Chinese idea that a person's fate is set and can't be changed.

Jun Ren wasn't presented in a flattering light in the first two episodes so I'm interested in seeing him change. I started this because the concept intrigued me. The first episode was ok, but the ML wasn't really that likable. The second episode was much better and the twist of bringing the FL back as well made me want to continue. Right now I'm more interested in seeing Kai Jia's character arc. Hopefully she'll grow and find her own path separate from a useless fixation on her first love.

One of my all time favorites is Mirotic.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Too many genres, jarring tonal shifts, and nonsensical, even unlikable characters made me almost regret the time I spent on this. The OTP was this shows saving grace for me, but unfortunately they weren't the only focus of this show, not that this drama had a strong focus to begin with.

Guess no one is going to pick up this subbing project. Waaaa

Would it have killed them to have a kiss scene in the last episode? LOL. Seriously though I really enjoyed this overall. I was worried that the extra episodes would make the drama feel super draggy, but it actually picked up the intensity and got more interesting in the latter half, not something that happens often in Asian dramas. Anyone interested in watching this should give it at least three episodes because I feel it took them that long to hit their stride, and for the actors to become comfortable in their roles.

I might have watched that scene in BDaWP more than once.

I dropped Bride of the Century after 9 episodes. It's been to long to remember exactly why. The only other highly rated drama on my dropped list is My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. That one didn't click with me.

I loved Secret Garden when I first saw it waaay back in my early kdrama days. Now not so much, but I can understand why people like it. On this list my favorites would be 2 & 3. I would definitely add Marriage, Not Dating, Coffee Prince, and Queen Inhyun's Man (one of my favorite dramas ever). Looking at my list it seems most of my favorites aren't Korean.

I would definitely watch a Season 2.

You will feel like you're dying, but Mike D'angelo will be your caretaker. Me. Worth it!

This movie was intense, but also all over the place story wise. I'm still confused about the older brother story. Did the younger brother lie about the older brother raping the girl because he hated him, or was he just confused? Nothing gets explained clearly, or I missed it. Also the wife was so stupid. Why did she keep leaving the daughter alone!!

Thanks for the info. With so many unlikable characters and no resolution, think I'll pass for now.

I assumed the leads would develop an actual relationship at some point, but sounds like the manga is just everybody hooking up. So in the end noone ends up together and everyone is unhappy? Hmmmm. Maybe I'll just move on from this one for right now. I need some kind of story other than who's sleeping with whom.

I just wish these songs weren't so hard to get in the US.
